Getting Started

The Apple Leasing Program is a financing tool, not a funding source. Leases are legally binding contracts that financially obligate the University. The acquiring department must identify the funding source prior to entering into a lease. To get started, contact Phil Redfern to discuss your project.

In order to qualify for the Apple Leasing Program, your project must meet the following requirements:

ITS recommends a minimum lease purchase of $25,000. If you have a specific project that does not meet this benchmark, please contact Phil Redfern.

All leases require approval by Enterprise Desktop Services and University Procurement. An MOU will be established between the acquiring department and ITS for each lease.

Leasing is not an immediate purchase option; projects should be planned 3 months in advance.

All leased hardware should be protected by a case or damage resistant shell. This ensures maximum device value at the end of the lease and helps protect the acquiring department from damage fees.

Devices cannot be permanently tagged or marked, with the exception of Apple factory tagging services.

Enrollment in Endpoint Management Tools and Inventory tracking is required for all leased equipment.

All leased hardware will be collected at the end of the term. Departments are not obligated to renew the lease at the end of the term. However, all equipment must be returned.
